If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).

So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60

Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300

To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:

180+300 = 480. All good.

Hope this helps

Answer:

The number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide the number 480 in the ratio 3:5

Let the numbers after dividing be 3x and 5x

(3x:5x=3:5)

3x+5x=480

⇒ 8x=480

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x=60

So, the numbers after dividing are:

3×60=180

and 5×60=300

Hence, the number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

Answer:

$( \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \frac{2}{3} ) - (1 \frac{1}{2} x - 1 \frac{1}{3} ) \\ = ( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} )x + ( \frac{5}{3} + \frac{4}{3} ) \\ = \frac{ - 2}{2} x + \frac{9}{3} \\ = - x + 3 \\ = 3 - x$

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

TEA [102]

Answer:

y= -2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).

Let's find the gradient of the given line.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 -y 2}{x1 - x2} }$

Gradient of given line

$= \frac{1 - ( - 5)}{3 - ( - 9)}$

$= \frac{1 + 5}{3 + 9}$

$= \frac{6}{12}$

$= \frac{1}{2}$

The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.

(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector

= -1 ÷(½)

= -1(2)

= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}) }$
